I think I took the bitch pill instead of the chill pill and am going straight to hell today.

[GemDigger]

Long story short, I bitched at my neighbor for not leaving me room in my garbage bin again. I think I may have been one of those people on youtube who will remain nameless but have a video of a freak out.

I immediately felt horrible and apologized 2 minutes after I let loose but I don't think once is enough.

I guess I will be good company for all the other people going to hell.

1. I feel off today too, Gem.

Maybe it's the excessive heat...the wildfires...Covid...Afghanistan...but it wouldn't take much for me to let loose on someone. I'm keeping to myself today as much as possible. And...there's no way you are going to hell, my friend.

[GemDigger]

3. Maybe, but I can't use that for an excuse.

I pride myself on being a good and kind person/neighbor and I was not one this morning.

2. Shit happens. Apology acceptation up to them.

But Jesus forgives you.

[GemDigger]

5. It does and it is but I owe her at minimum, one more apology.

Jesus may but I have a ways to go to forgive myself because I am my harshest judge. I am working on it though.

7. Some one posted the other day:

If you made a list of people you love, hoe long would it take to list yourself.

It made me think.

Go to the greenhouse. Buy a small potted rosemary and take it over and apologize again.

Rosemary or lavender. Both are good.

[GemDigger]

10. That is something to think about.

I was thinking of a fruit basket but a potted gift is a better idea.

4. Wait! It's your garbage bin and your neighbor abused the courtesy you bestowed upon them?

.

If so, that's just a rude person who repeatedly jams you.

8. Yes and no. We live in a 4plex each with our own paid by the landlord.

It isn't my money but it is frustrating because it happens every week without fail. So I have to wait until I hear the garbage truck before I place the cleanings of the fridge and protect it from the magpies making a mess because the bins are overloaded.

[TheBlackAdder]

11. If you're in a 4-Plex and they are using more than one can, they must be disposing of other trash.

.

Are they using your landlord to fund their business's trash hauling or that of a friend or relative?

.

13. They have too damn many people living in a 2 bedroom is the problem. More peeps more trash.

5 adults and a child next door, (lots of beer cans and bottles) 5 adults upstairs and sometimes 6 (lots more beer cans and bottles), 2 and a dog in this apt and 2 in the last. I have 2 - 3 bags a week as does the last apartment. They (next door and upstairs) have easily a dozen bags each a week.

It's not really their fault and that is why I feel horrible. I took the wrong pill this morning. I have talked to the landlord about getting a recycling bin or another trash bin and that would solve a lot but....

[TheBlackAdder]

15. There's no bottle recycling or redemption program in your state?

[GemDigger]

17. We do.

We have both curbside and collection sites around town. I take mine to the collection site behind the supermarket once a month. I was just looking up prices and think that I will just pay for one. $20 a month is worth not being bitchy about it but I am not sure that they would be responsible to rinse/clean the stuff and it would a waste of money and recyclables. Or even use it.

6. I once yelled at the young dad from up the street who stopped

in front of my mailbox while walking his dog down the street He stopped there to let his dog pee and all I could see from the window was someone loitering around my mail box.
I yelled at him" what are you doing in my mail box?" Then I saw the
dog.
Trust me this is no way to meet and greet a new neighbor.
I have spent the last 3 years making it up to him and his family.

9. Yea, I'm still kicking myself.

We have been neighbors for 3 years and I am sad that because of my own doing that they may never look at me the same again.

12. All of the people I've met in my 72 years have been FLAWED, including me. Welcome to the club

and if we do wind up in hell then at least we'll be with our friends!

[GemDigger]

14. True.

If I do go there I plan on making tfg and all his buddies miserable.

16. Luckily, there's a coffee mug to match every mood

18. Good one but I prefer the

"Don't flip my bitch switch!" one.
